3. Heatsink installation Simply place the heatsink onto the processor as shown in Figure 1, page 1, and gradually tighten the spring loaded screws: Tighten one side a few turns, then switch to the other side and tighten a few turns, and continue this procedure until full tension has been reached.
Because a majority of motherboard manufacturers already include the retention frame and backing plate with their offerings, and in an effort to spare this cost to the majority of users, Swiftech does not include these items with the MCX64­V™ heatsink. These items are nonetheless offered as an option under part # AJ00172, as shown below.
When using the backing plate shipped with their motherboard, users are advised to inspect it, and to note that a metallic backing-plate featuring threaded standoffs is required. An example is shown below, and is available under part # AJ00264.
Final inspection
Now that the heat sink is installed, startup your computer, go into the BIOS and observe the CPU temperature. CPU temperature is completely dependant on ambient temperature inside the case, type of fan used, and processor frequency. At the lowest air flow level, the MCX6400-V heatsink should never exceed AMD’s specifications, as defined in the link below:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/30430.pdf
In all cases, and irrespective of any of the factors listed above, processor temperature should never exceed 65°C as you monitor the temperature in the Bios. If it does, shut down the computer immediately, and review your entire installation. Troubleshooting help is available on our web site at www.swiftnets.com
